A great song that became a hit because of MTV. Although Toni Basil is a one hit wonder, she's still a definite pioneer.

I believe this is the generational performance by a female artist. Whitney's Star Spangled Banner.

Iris Dement - Let the Mystery Be:

I don't know that she has any hits, but you could probably pick any one of her songs and it would be absolutely lovely.

No doubt some of the oldtimers here were in love with Michelle Phillips in the 60’s. The Mamas and Papas made a lot of good music in a very short time (1965-68)

Got to feature one more from the group 'It's a Beautiful Day". Vocalist Patti Santos and keyboardist Linda LaFlamme were key members of this highly talented group.

This one is magically beautiful - song is "Let a Woman Flow" from the Marrying Maiden album.

Rickie Lee Jones wrote this beautiful song with Walter Becker for her daughter. It was recorded by Australian artist Daryl Braithwaite and it's become somewhat the unofficial national anthem of Australia. It's highly performed at weddings, funerals and it's not at all uncommon to hear an entire stadium of fans singing the song at soccer matches.

I'm surprised that Molly Tuttle hasn't been mentioned yet.
Incredible guitar player, nice ensemble performance here.
